I do a lot of solo backpacking - my vote is going to go to your model 36. More unobtrusive (I'm guessing lighter also) and will let you spend more time enjoying what you are doing.
The only real threat I have ever come across are wild dogs.
I have met some great people backpacking but occassionally get a bad vibe from someone (imagined potential threat). I never give them true details of my plans and break contact as quickly as possible if contact is even made.
